I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, an actual cult. One thing you don't hear cults encouraging is doing your own deep research. I saw in the Q stuff that it encourages people to do their research. Now, i don't think the Q people are cultists, although some behavior can be seen as cult-like when there is a sort of strict adherence to the base material.

Also, i find it strange how these people can't get it through their heads that them being vaccinated does not protect their family. Like they don't know that both the vaxxed and unvaxxed can get, transmit, and die from Covid.
